  1. Yeah, before he implied he had no idea. Now he says there is a "pretty good soft circle number" and that most games will be linear, not streaming.
  2. And the point is they still have no idea how much they will be offered.
  3. Disagree partly. Recent competitiveness increases TV ratings. TV ratings are what primarily determine attractiveness. Oregon has been competitive over an extended period, so they are the best of the rest in the Pac 12. USC, UCLA and UW have markets and brands, but the rest don't.
  4. Stanford did when they vetoed Texas in 1990.
  5. I think they are pretty sure they get one in 2030 if not soon. So I think they would prefer to stay put if its not awful. And they can veto any big exit fee.
  6. Or if you knew history, you would know that everybody was racist back then. Lincoln wanted to send the freed slaves back to Africa. Some were worse than others. And without Littlefield and his union counterpart Brackenridge, we might be a Texas Tech caliber school today. And Texas did a great job putting the Sweatt statue outside Painter Hall. Painter was a world class scientist who brought credit to the school. He had the misfortune of being president when UT was fighting integration. He shouldn't be erased just for that. But the Sweatt statue addresses the fight against integration.
  7. Utah is ahead of WSU and OSU on the Big 10's list, nobody else.
  8. Well if the Big 12 adds the 4 corners, does Washington St. become the Crimson & Grey window cougars?
  9. They really do think they are the western version of Michigan in both academics and football despite their 45k seat stadium.
  10. Everything I've heard is that the battery throwing was mostly from the student section at CU.
  11. Jason Scheer said he heard no numbers or deal was presented at the Pac 12 meeting yesterday. Guess CU board doesn't have much to talk about today other than batteries.
  12. They have tried that. in the 2000s they were doing $99 family season tickets in the end zone-adults and 2 children. They did a couple of sell out efforts with cheap tickets. Drew 50k for an Air Force game. Didn't seem to add permanent fans.
  13. True, but at the same time, those schools have more value in the P5 than the AAC or MWC. Pac 12 certainly doesn't look any better than the R8 in those 2018 valuations. Thy look pretty comparable. But the Pac doesn't want to play games at 9 a.m. That is a permanent handicap for them.
  14. Ignoring the last 3 years: 2007, 2017 #2, 2002 #3, 2019 #4, 2013, #5, 2003, 2004, 2018 #7, 2015, #9, 2015, #10 That is underachiever?
  15. Their 3 rivals will include Ohio St. and Michigan St. So if they get USC they will not play Penn St.
  16. Historically, UCLA is well up there. Unless you limit your history to this century, in which case your statement would be correct. They have really struggled the last couple of decades.
  17. Who else would UCLA get? And Ohio St. having Michigan, Penn St. AND USC would be too much. Its the same strategy of connecting the old Big 10 with new markets. I always thought Michigan-USC and Ohio St.-UCLA as fixed were likely scenarios.
  18. The Utah media has suddenly started being a little negative about the Pac. That is a change.
  19. The date on that is August 4th. He might just be tweeting about what he said 6 months ago.
  20. Kind of like Joe Burrow?
  21. Pretty interesting interview with Fox exec. Particularly interesting discussion of viewership habits. Talks about why cable/pay TV works much better than streaming for the casual fan (ie most fans). Talks a lot about the long term media environment.
  22. That blonde would be a lot more enjoyable if the score wasn't posted beside her.
  23. Seen several media people say numbers between $22 and $25. None of them are especially credible though. Wilner indicated he was expecting high 20s about a week ago, but changed his guess a few days ago to Big 12 +- 10%, so high 20s to 35.
  24. You are missing what happened. OU and the rest of the Big 12 were sold on TCU. CDC had to get Dodds to buy in to get it to happen. Texas was the holdout, not the driver. And TCU has significantly outperformed UL in football.
  25. Only watched the first 10 minutes so far, but Fox/Turner/CBS out. Ion is a possibility. Apple has not yet made an offer. Still expects Big 10 expansion. Maybe aggressive. Big 10 has definitely not written off future expansion. Doesn't know timing. Pac survival depends on contract. $5-$10 below Big 12/ACC and they start looking.
